Circular Paving
A wide range of round pavers & steppers
Create organic pathways with uniform or mismatched circular pavers, creating an exploratory journey through your outdoor space.
Anston’s circular range is available in a large variety of sizes, allowing a multitude of different configurations to suit all types of applications.
Common Uses for Circular Pavers & Steppers
Where standard rectilinear pavers are typically used to create a pavement or large paved area, circular pavers are generally used to create a pathway of individual steppers.
Rectilinear pavers are often laid in a structured pattern (gridded, stretcher bond, banded, ashlar or herringbone) to cover an area entirely, and the gap between adjacent pavers is filled in with grout.
Conversely, circular pavers are typically installed as separate units with space surrounding each paver. Each round paver acts as a stepping stone to form a path or a feature area with scattered circles. No grout is required for circular paver installation.
When using circular pavers, customers may opt to use uniform sizes or a selection of mismatched circles to create two different visual styles, both of which have great aesthetic appeal.
Circular Paving FAQs
What sizes are available for circular pavers and steppers?
Anston's range of circular pavers and steppers currently contains 13 different sizes, ranging in thickness from 50mm up to 175mm.
This allows plenty of flexibility in the design of your outdoor space or pathway, enabling clients to use mismatched sizes for a more organic aesthetic, or uniform sizes to create a neater, structured pathway or area.
What colours can I choose for circular pavers and steppers?
Our circular pavers and copers are available to order in 28 beautiful colours, offering a variety of aesthetic styles such as traditional concrete, sparkling granite or bold exposed aggregate.

What types of finishes are available?
Anston's standard finish on all paving products is a shot-blasted finish, which highlights the beautiful, sensuous texture of concrete.
Customers can select from a light, medium or heavy level of blasting, where light blasting results in a smoother texture and heavy blasting results in a rougher, grittier textured finish. For products made using our EcoPebble, Ironstone or Mineral Range colours, a heavier level of blasting will reveal also more of the stone aggregate in the mix.
Products up to 800mm diameter can be produced with a machine-honed finish, which removes the roughness for a silky smooth finish. Anston can also provide a polished finish, which uses an additive on a honed surface to make the product even smoother and to produce a shiny, lustrous appearance.
Honing and polishing is only available to the top of circular pavers, and not to the edges.
How long will it take to receive my order?
All Anston products are made to order, requiring a minimum lead time for production. If you do not have a trading account with Anston, we will not be able to commence production of your order until we receive a deposit payment.
Once the order is confirmed and deposit payment received, the standard lead time for circular pavers and steppers is 4 weeks. However, this may be impacted by other factors such as order volume, existing work log and delivery location.
To ensure accurate lead times, please confirm with your Anston representative at the time of enquiry.
Can circular pavers be used as steps?
Yes, circular pavers can be used as steppers to create a pathway. They can also be used as circular stair treads, where they are installed on raised levels to create a stairway.
Circular steppers can be produced with shot-blasting to the edges as well as the top surface, ensuring a continuous textured concrete finish.
How do I install circular pavers?
We recommend installing circular pavers and steppers onto a solid concrete base, mortar bed or crushed rock. Placing round pavers directly onto soil or a grass surface will make the pavers more prone to movement over time, which will result in uneven levels.
The spacing between circular pavers and steppers is typically left to the client's discretion, as it is generally a design choice. However, we recommend that each circular paver should have a minimum gap around it; circular pavers should not be installed so that the edges are touching.
Nestled within a stone’s throw of the bay, this modern home and its outdoor entertaining spaces prioritise human connection, offering several areas for family and friends to relax in comfort.
The front and rear gardens are paved with mismatched circular steppers in Anston Atlas, connecting visually with low, rounded bushes and ground cover while creating an exploratory path through the landscape.
